24. Alternatively the 14-carbanion could be oxidized by the hydroperoxide formed to give two molecules of alcohol 8, see e.g. M. F. Hawthorne, G. S. Hammond, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1955, 77, 2549-2551. However, this can be ruled out since addition of an excess of tert-butylhydroperoxide had no influence on the amount of alcohol 8 formed.
